First Quarter 2017 Newsletter

12 Oct, 2017

This year’s opening quarter saw gains across most indices, even globally. The S&P 500 Index finished the quarter up just over 6%, with large cap outperforming small and mid cap stocks (a reversal of what we saw for much of 2016), Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Healthcare sectors outperforming their peers, and Energy significantly lagging. The US markets in general have responded positively to Trump’s policy plans, and it’s looking as though earnings had a surprisingly positive quarter, as well.
